Özet:The aim of this thesis is to shed light to the tendencies of change in the intellectual life of Iran with the framework of the development of a religious intellectual’s ideas, who is Abdolkarim Soroush. In this context, the focal point of this thesis will be to show that Iran has a potential to be changed and to be freed from her Islamic nature in time. In other words, this thesis aims to show that Iran has the tendency to change its Islamic character. For this purpose, this thesis also provides a comparison of the intellectual life in Iran before and after the revolution. Abdolkarim Soroush was a ‘unique’ intellectual’ in Iranian context since he had the ability to construct his ideas different from the other intellectual figures in Iran. This thesis benefited from the ideas of some important intellectuals of Iran; who were Ali Shari‘ati, Mehdi Bazargan, and Murtaza Mutahhari, and also it benefited from the concept of ‘Liberal Islam’, which had defined by Abdolkarim Soroush to show his uniqueness. Under the shed light of all of these points, throughout this thesis, the development of the political thought in Iran (starting from the beginning of 20th century) will be evaluated within the framework of Abdolkarim Soroush’s political and religious ideas. Related to this target, also the effect of the Islamic revolution in the development of Abdolkarim Soroush’s ideas will be explained.
